Changing url of web service

I want to programmically change the IP address of a Web Service that my client pc is accessing. I am using the following code:

string ServerURL=@"http://10.20.30.40/IPA/ERalEXService.asmx";
lcws.Url=ServerURL;

If I then use a messagebox to display the Url it seems that I have indeed changed it. The problem is that the machine keeps communicating to the original IP.

Any ideas?

It sounds like your web reference is static. If you right click on your web reference in Visual Studio and look at it's properties. Change it's URL Behaviour property to Dynamic. Then look in the Web.Config file of the project. There will be an entry where the key is the name of the WebReference and the value is the URL of where the web service is. Change this value to where the web service is and you never have to write any code to change the URL location. This value can be changed at runtime and everything will continue as normal.Provided of course that the web service has not changed definition :) Hope this is what you are looking for, Clive.
